I wrote a rather lengthy rant on higher education and the politics thereof, but upon reflection I realized that it was not in any way applicable to my experiences so far in law school. I routinely see headlines about the plight of conservative organizations on campuses all across this great country, and how two-faced many liberals can be when it comes to the concept of "free speech." However, I have found that political discussions rarely erupt during class, and I would be hard pressed to wager an educated guess as to how any of my professors voted in the last election, or more importantly, IF they even voted. I find this a rather welcome change from my experience in undergrad where approximately half of the final examination included questions that led off with "according to your professor, the source of evil in America is..." or "According to your professor, George Bush is similar to Bin Laden because..." It's nice to see the face professionalism peek out from behind the ficade of "education" that so often characterizes the uinversity experience, and it's amazing how much you can actually learn in such a setting.
